My editor has repeatedly cautioned me against making any more pointless references to Bob Hope, but, hey, it's Christmas, ya' know? Besides, I feel compelled to warn readers who might still have a box of this dangerous, tangle-free tree-coating lurking in their attic, that woven into every silvery strand are thought transponders that trigger permanent symptoms of violent insanity. This effect is caused by many factors, including dissociative anonymity, invisibility, asynchronicity, solipsistic introjection, dissociative imagination, and prolonged exposure to The Private Navy of Sgt. O'Farrell.
